adjusting date of midsize oyster perpetual datejust early 1990s model

Hi! new to the forum and i hope experts can help me out. Just wondering if you can turn the crown clockwise to instantly change the date backwards. I am confused because i was told by a friend that you can only adjust the date forward otherwise you have to wind the hands to adjust the date backwards...is this true?? thanks in advance.

I was always told never wind back only forwards.

I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
